toll switching trunk
Here you have some material to research... I know about telephony networks, but I´m not very familiar with the terms used in USA...
"Centrais" are switching offices (first commuting center near the subscriber)
"entroncamento" is like trunking, signal forwarding, interconnection of equipment (linking); more or less like "interfacing" that Mr. HOllywood suggested
If this can help you a little...

A trunk line is a circuit connecting telephone switchboards (or other switching equipment), as distinguished from local loop circuit which extends from telephone exchange switching equipment to individual telephones or information origination/termination equipment.

Look there also for the terms (the direct links don´t appear to be copied, are all the same):
Trunk; Central office; Switching
Note that this is the official USA government glossary of telecommunications (Federal Standard 1037C).
If this doesn´t close the question, I think all this will help you on this project if you understand something about the telephony networking.

Daniel Tavares
: I like the term "interfacing". However, I hardly believe that "center" is used as a translation of "central" in this context.

Trunking between central systems
From what I understand the context is computer or informations systems.

Daniel Tavares
: Not exactly a computer system, but a switching system. One can't remove the word "switch" (or "switching"), otherwise the phrase will loose its meaning.

: I agree with Mr. Tavares, this is pure telephony terminology. Maybe my answer is not 100% precise, but "centrais" is switches, switching offices (centrais de comutação). "Central systems", as you gave, in PT would be "sistemas centrais": too generic

in USA, the links are T1 (24 channels); the equivalent in Brazil (Europe-based) are the "E1" - 30 channels;
DDR is "discagem direta a ramal" (direct branch calling). That´s the facility you have when calling a company which, for ex., the main number is 3347-0000, and has 24 branches numbered from 01 to 23 (final number). If you call 3347-0020, you´ll reach branch #20 directly, as opposed to earlier systems, where you had to talk with the manual operator or dial 3347-0000#20.
Only to illustrate!
Good work!
